[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Zeke here with some very cool news: today is the second birthday of 5MV's first official subsite, Marc Richard's Five-Minute Next Generation. Â That means 5MV has now been around longer with it than without it, a fact I'm still trying to process. Â I don't need to tell you all what a contribution Marc's made to the site, in content and pretty much everything else. Â Suffice it to say I couldn't be prouder to see 5MNG hit the two-year mark.


And as we always do at 5MV when something big comes up, we're gonna have some fun with this. Â Welcome to [bost_uid0]Next Generation Week: The Next Generation[/bost_uid0]! Â (The first Next Gen Week was back in February/March 2002, and longtime readers will remember that it concluded with Derek Dean's first fiver.) Â For the next seven update days, we'll have at least one new fiver for you every day. Â Most are by the master (Marcster?) himself, but you'll see a couple of cameo appearances too. Â To start things off, here's Five-Minute "Too Short a Season," by Marc.


(PS: Two quick notes. Â One, my email is still down, thank you very much Lycos. Â Two, as a result, the next update letter will be delayed until it's back up. Â I could mail from another address, but I don't have my mailing list....)[/colorost_uid0]
